Where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium.
For example, the refractive index of water is 1.333; meaning that light travels 1.333 times
faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
APPARATUS
✓ Convex Lens
✓ Plane Mirror
✓ Water
✓ Oil
✓ Clamp Stand
✓ An Optical Needle
✓ Plumb Line
✓ Knitting Needle
✓ Half Meter Scale
✓ Glass Slab
✓ Spherometer

1. If f1 and f2 be the focal length of the glass convex
lens and liquid lens and f be the focal length of their
combination then:-
